1 STRATEGIES TOWARDS NATIONAL SELF-SUFFICIENCY LEVEL: ESTATIZATION INITIATIVE AS MODEL TO INCREASE RICE PRODUCTIVITY MD ZUKI,I., FOUZI,A., KAMARUDIN,D., & ERNNIE, O. NAPICEX SEPTEMBER 2015 THE PACIFIC SUTERA HOTEL, KOTA KINABALU, SABAH

2 PRESENTATION OUTLINE BACKGROUND STRATEGIES TO INCREASE PRODUCTION EPP 10: STATUS AND ACHIEVEMENT CONLUSION

3 The Historical Profile (Pre-Muda Project) Paddy has for centuries been cultivated in coastal Plains of Kedah and Perlis states. Paddy cultivation then was carried out using local tradition implements and was planted once a year. In general, about 72% of farmers lived under poverty level.

4 Policy Changes For Rice Production From 1955 to the immediate post independence years, a policy of self-sufficiency in rice was adopted by the government. In accordance with the policy, under the First Malaysia Plan ( ) the Muda Irrigation Project was launched.

5

6 Muda Agricultural Development Authority (MADA) Established on the 30 th of June 1970 (PARLIAMENT ACT 70, MADA 1972)

7 MUDA IRRIGATION PROJECT The largest development project during First Malaysia Plan ( ) Total Project Cost = RM 248 million (funded by World Bank) Infrastructure development started in the year 1966 Fully operational by 1974

8 OBJECTIVES To uplift the living standard of the majority of the rural population To increase rice production for the national requirement VISION To be a leading agency in the development of a modern, efficient and stable rice industry in Malaysia, and also as a prime mover of socioeconomic development for farming community in the Muda Area

9 Muda Irrigation Scheme is about 130,282 ha and named Muda Area. 20,304 ha. Langkawi 105,851 ha. MUDA IRRIGATION SCHEME It covers: *108,581 ha (Northwestern Kedah State) and 21,701 ha (Southern Perlis State) 77% of the land is under paddy cultivation (100,685 ha) 55,130 farmers operate in Muda Area MADA was formed by integrating the functions of 3 main Departments (Dept. of Agriculture, Farmers Organisation and Drainage and Irrigation Dept.)

10 PERLIS REGION II (31,694 Ha) Ahning Dam REGION I (16,320 Ha) Padang Sanai River Pedu Dam 2 Padang Terap River Straits of Malacca KEDAH REGION IV (24,711 Ha) REGION III (21,385HA) Muda Dam RESERVOIR STORAGE MCM / (Ac Ft) SURFACE AREA Sq. Km 2 CATCH-MENT AREA Sq Km MUDA 154 (125,000 ) PEDU 1,080 (875,000 ) AHNING 274 (222,300 ) TOTAL 1,508 (1,222,300 ) 101 1,277

11 The Historical Profile ( During Muda Project) First pilot project of double cropping was conducted in 1968 Double cropping was fully commenced in 1974 In general, about 72% of farmers lived under poverty level.

14 TONS/HA ANNUAL GROSS AVERAGE YIELD 5 6

15 STRATEGIES USED TO INCREASE YIELD 1. Centralized Farm Management 2. Usage of Hybrid Seed 3. Efficient Water Management 4. Strengthening the extension and Human Capital 5. The Use of Fertilizer According to Zoning (Cluster) 6. Farm Mechanization

16 1 Centralized Farm Management Systematic & efficient establishment of 50,000 hectare paddy estate. Overcome the problems of ageing farmers and uneconomic paddy field size Reduction of operational cost of individual farming

17 2 Efficient Water Management Improvement of tertiary infrastructure density from 18m/hectare to 30m/hectare. Implementation of new irrigation technologies e.g recycling of drainage water.

18 3 Usage of Hybrid Seed High yield varieties (including disease tolerant hybrid varieties) with sustainable high yielding package and MyGAP MADA is collaborating with MARDI and interested parties to conduct trials/observation on the potential hybrid rice varieties for large scale cultivation.

19 4 Strengthening the extension and Human Capital A comprehensive program to re-train extension staff being conducted 700 personnels The establishment of MADA Rice Training Centre (MRTC) for future young farmers.

20 5 The Use of Fertilizer According to Zoning Re-conduct soil survey for Muda Area to remap the soil fertility zones Collaboration works with DAO, MARDI and private sectors

21 6 Farm Mechanization Program to reduce post harvest losses MARDI study indicated 28% post harvest loses Conduct and promoting tonnage based harvesting Study suitable agricultural machineries for Muda Area Conduct training to machineries operators a collaboration training between MRTC and RTD (JPJ)

22 ESTATIZATION INITIATIVE AS MODEL TO INCREASE RICE PRODUCTIVITY IN MUDA AREA
